Fengchen Wang is a Chinese-born, London-based menswear designer at the forefront of a new generation of fashion talent emerging from China. Wang studied MA Fashion Menswear at the prestigious Royal College of Art, London, graduating in 2015. Describing her aesthetic as “bold, futuristic and structured”, she focusses on technical outerwear, creating unisex clothing that is functional but at the same time conceptual and personal, drawing on her life experiences.

Nominated for the 2016 LVMH Prize, Wang has designed five collections to date, showing two at London Fashion Week Men’s as part of Lulu Kennedy’s support scheme for emerging designers, MAN. Additionally, she has collaborated with brands such as Levi’s and Converse, bringing her unique and artistic sensibility to those projects.

Wang has been featured in publications such as Vogue, Vogue Runway, GQ, The New York Times, The Business of Fashion, Women’s Wear Daily, Dazed, i-D, Arena Homme+, 10 Men, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety and more. She is stocked at Dover Street Market, H Lorenzo, Harvey Nichols, Lane Crawford and SSENSE.

“Comparisons to other creators of the avant persuasion, among them Rei Kawakubo and Walter Van Beirendonck, are inevitable. Like those artists, Wang appears happily preoccupied with concept over sex appeal. Her seduction lies more in the delineation of an idea, the rendering of an abstraction” – Vogue Runway

“She has this very cool way of doing outerwear and it was at this time when we were looking at genderless fashion. You could put it into the context of being this interesting take on streetwear, of being a currency. She has a cool, vibrant aesthetic, and her personality seems like a really good combination of Chinese grounded in a western culture” – The Business of Fashion
